Do you know that Los Angeles is not the only "City of Angels" of the world?
The full ceremonial name of Bangkok enters Thailand in the Guinness Book of World Records as the place with longest name in the world:
-Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Yuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit.-
The original name was given by King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke that relocated the city on the eastern side of the river and gave the city its ceremonial name.
Luckily for the Thai people, their language allows many words to be shortened
and the city picked up the official name of Krung Thep Maha Nakorn
– meaning "the City of Angles".
